 * Hi,
    I am completely new with all this IT stuff. And I am just following a tutorial
   where it says: You must be logged in your server as root user to perform the 
   steps. Once logged in as root execute this command. # ps aux | grep httpd
 * I just have no idea how to do this and where to open any command window. I am
   using WordPress and have Problems with it; therefore following this one tutorial/
   instruction.
 * Thanks

 * No I am using Windows. I guess I see the Problem to be solved with my host Provider.

 * You posted this in “localhost installs” so it was natural to assume you want 
   to host on your own PC. OK, most hosts offer a one-click installer for WordPress.
   Check with yours.
